Starting a new job (Catanistan)

Wisdom teaches that all challenges should be met with open eyes and open mind. Fear should be banished and only calm allowed to blossom in the mind. Cantanistan reflected upon this bromide before approaching the soldier. Clearly, wisdom simply did not get out very much. "Greetings," murmured Catanistan, as he moved past the soldier, then paused. He turned to face the man. "I wonder." He frowned, glancing to the south. "Does anything ill come from that way? Fell winds? Taxations without relief?" He smiled, grimly, at the last.
